Francis Ford Coppola’s Island Retreat in Belize Seeks $2.2M
Location: Placencia, Belize
Price: $2,195,000
Footprint: Multiple dwellings (10 bedrooms, 6 baths total)
From the Agent: "Coral Caye is a beautiful, secluded island retreat. This island, located eight miles and approximately 25 minutes by boat ride from Placencia, Belize, has been featured in several magazines including Land and Travel and Caribbean Culture and Lifestyle. The great house features a sand floor and indoor/outdoor living rooms, while several other newly built cottages are also available. Each unit comes complete with multiple solar panels, which are hooked into a battery and inverter system."
Set just beyond the Belize Barrier Reef, the private island is an idyllic spot for snorkeling.
The owner of the island, Terry Tao, built the main house, which sits inches from the water. Francis Ford Coppola has been leasing the island for the past six years.
Stone walkways connect the main house to the two other cottages located on the island.
In addition to dazzling sandy beaches, the island is dotted with mangroves and pam trees. It is also fully self-sufficient, with its own rainwater system and solar panels.
"Once used as a commercial fishing camp, the island has now been enhanced for travelers who want a once-in-a-lifetime experience, while still preserving the natural, local flavor," notes the agent. All of the furnishings (including hammocks) are included in the sale.
